From intimate gatherings to major corporate events – find the perfect setting for your occasion.

Planning a conference, business gathering, formal dinner or private celebration? Across Šibenik and the island of Zlarin, we offer six distinctive event venues, from historic fortresses with panoramic views to contemporary halls and an educational campus.

Find your event venue:

St Michael’s Fortress

For large events and special occasions.

An open-air stage accommodating up to 1,000 guests, overlooking the sea and the Šibenik archipelago. St Michael’s Fortress offers a striking setting for major corporate events, gala programmes and brand launches.

Barone Fortress

For business receptions, cocktail parties, dinners and celebrations.

An outdoor venue with panoramic views of Šibenik, its historic centre, St Anthony’s Channel and the Šibenik archipelago. Barone Fortress is particularly well suited to business gatherings, receptions and special occasions in a more relaxed atmosphere. The venue can accommodate up to 300 guests.

St John’s Fortress

For intimate events and exclusive gatherings of up to 100 guests.

Set at the highest point in Šibenik, Zvijezda offers a distinctive setting for smaller corporate events, business receptions, private celebrations and formal dinners. Historic walls and panoramic views of the city and its surroundings make it an appealing choice for more intimate gatherings.

Educational Campus at St John’s Fortress

For training sessions, workshops and multi-day gatherings.

Three meeting rooms, accommodation and shared spaces in one location, within the walls of St John’s Fortress. The campus is particularly well suited to professional development programmes, international projects, conferences, workshops and team gatherings. Hosting your programme and accommodating participants in the same place makes planning multi-day events easier.

House of Arts Arsen

For conferences, presentations and business events throughout the year.

Located on Šibenik’s waterfront, House of Arts Arsen offers a modern, fully equipped hall for conferences, lectures, presentations and panel discussions.

Thanks to its modular floor system, unique in Croatia, the hall can be quickly adapted to different layouts and programme formats. Modern audiovisual equipment supports events with a wide range of technical and production requirements.

Croatian Coral Centre Zlarin

For smaller gatherings and special programmes in an island setting.

Located on a car-free island, the Croatian Coral Centre Zlarin offers a setting for smaller business gatherings, creative workshops and themed programmes.

Dedicated to preserving and showcasing Zlarin’s coral-harvesting heritage, the centre is a recipient of the 2026 European Heritage Awards / Europa Nostra Awards.

You bring the vision. We know the possibilities.

You don’t need a fully developed plan. Tell us what you would like to organise, how many participants you expect and your preferred dates.

We’ll recommend a venue, help with on-site logistics and connect you with trusted partners for catering, production or event programming.

Depending on your event requirements, you can hire an entire fortress for exclusive use or a selected area while the rest of the venue remains open to visitors.

Frequently asked questions

When can events take place?

Events in the fortresses’ outdoor spaces are held seasonally, depending on weather conditions. The Educational Campus, House of Arts Arsen and Croatian Coral Centre Zlarin are available for events throughout the year.

Is technical equipment available?

House of Arts Arsen and the Educational Campus at St John’s Fortress have technical equipment for various types of events. At other venues, technical arrangements are agreed according to the requirements of each event, with the option of hiring external providers.

Can we arrange catering?

Yes. Catering can be arranged at all venues. You can use your own caterer or ask us to recommend trusted partners.

Can we hire just part of a fortress?

Yes. Depending on the type and scale of your event, you can arrange to use a selected area of a fortress or hire the entire venue exclusively.

What happens if the weather prevents an outdoor event from taking place?

For large outdoor events at the fortresses, we do not have an alternative indoor venue with equivalent capacity. It is therefore essential to agree on arrangements for adverse weather in advance.
